Upgrading to WM5, is it wise?

[Infra]

I'm thinking to upgrade my BA (Qtek 9090) to WM2005.

Few things i would like to know. Is it safe procedure? Or is it possible to b0rk my device for good?

Another thing is that is there a site where you could find programs or utilities or WM2005 features that doesn't work?

If you have to ask, you shouldn't do it. I have been working with computers in all shapes and forms for 20 years, and it was pretty difficult to get this right.

Have to agree with Mastif with this.. I have converted twice now from WM2003SE to WM5 and then converted back again.. Personally, provided you follow the advice in Wiki, you shouldn't have a problem but..

If your BA is working exactly as you want it to, then why change.. Others on here have changed because they fancy a new look on their BA whereas some have changed for the improved BT performance, etc etc..

WM2003SE with the latest 1.42 T-Mobile Rom (and ExtROM) are perfectly good enough for me right now.. It does what I need it to..

I guess what I'm saying is that if you're not comfortable changing to WM5 and there's no real need then why do it..?

Hope this answer helps..? I'd hate to see a post on here form yourself with the title "Help - I've Borked my BA!" :lol:

Infra,

Well i was using WM5 since it was released for BA. Just a couple of days back i shifted to WM2003SE because there was no radio service. However within 1 day of my usage it got soft reseted at least 10 times. I know that some might say that the softwares installed were not correct. However the same programs are installed WM5. It has not soft reset even once. For me i think that WM5 is more stable even in this leaked version. You might loose some of your favorite SW if it has not been updated for WM5.

Just my $0.02.

Best Regards,
Hemant.
